Farmhouse Owner Arrested for Sheltering Fugitive Rajeev Gowda
A man named Michael Rego was arrested for letting a wanted man named Rajeev Gowda stay at his farmhouse.
Rajeev Gowda is a former Congress leader who is in trouble for saying bad things to a government official and stopping her from doing her job.
After the Congress party kicked him out, the court said he couldn't be free while waiting for his trial.
Rajeev Gowda ran away and was hiding at Michael Rego's farmhouse.
The police found him there, but he escaped.
Later, the police caught him in a nearby state called Kerala.
The police are still checking if anyone else helped Rajeev Gowda hide.
Michael Rego, owner of a farmhouse in Pachchanady, Mangaluru, was arrested for sheltering fugitive Rajeev Gowda.
Rajeev Gowda, a former Congress leader, is wanted for abusing a municipal commissioner and obstructing her duties.
Gowda was expelled from the Congress party and his bail pleas were rejected by both a local court and the Karnataka High Court.

Investigations are ongoing to determine if others aided Gowda in evading arrest.
